How important is this step?

Defining who you are as a business can be the difference between success and failure.  Most beginners don't know how or merely do not perform this step and later wonder why they aren't succeeding.

Where do I begin?

Determine the type of private practice you want to have.  See the real big picture five, ten years down the road...where do you see yourself? Envision the small stages and steps necessary to get you from here to there.

1)  How much money do you have now to allocate towards this venture? Where is your starting point?  Do you want to be a solo practitioner office and stay that way or will you setup a large group facility with a pool and sophisticated equipment immediately?  I recommend you start out small and steadily grow.

2) Keep your niche in mind when answering these questions:

  • Why will people want to do business with you?  As a patient? As a referral source?
  • What makes you stand out from all others in your area?
  • What makes you unique?
  • Why are you the #1 choice?

3)  Define the essence of your practice using only six key words. For example:  "physical--therapy--adolescent--sports--injury--experts"

4)  Give a description of your practice using 26-30 words only. This will be used many times in your marketing tools and whenever someone asks, "What do you do?"

For example:  "Highly specialized physical therapy care for adolescents suffering from sports injury. Our advanced techniques, programs and equipment will promote a fast recovery and return to high level performance!"

It may help to think of some of your special services, benefits, or conveniences such as:

    • location
    • hours of operation
    • appointment conveniences
    • payment plans
    • languages
    • etc.

It's important that you enjoy working with people, that you're a good therapist, and you genuinely care for others, etcetera but it's not unique.  It's actually expected by everyone already.
